We are trying to use auth0 for spring-boot application authentication.
Created Regular Web Application and Machine to Machine Applications in auth0.com and added users under User Management.
Intention is to have a login API to authenticate users and get the access-token after the successful authentication. Use access token (as bearer token) to access other APIs of the spring-boot application.
We provided proper login and callback urls under the Machine To Machine application configuration in auth0.com.
While generating bearer token, apart from client_id, client_secret we have provided grant_type (as client_credentials), audience as https://<>/api/v2 and scope with (openid profile my_scope email roles).
We are getting 401 error while accessing the other APIs using bearer token generated using client_id, client_secret, grant_type and audience.
Wherein, we are getting 403 error while accessing the other APIs using bearer token generated using client_id, client_secret, grant_type, audience and scope.
403 error stack is as below
Client is not authorized to access <<application-domain-in-auth0>>/api/v2/. You need to create a client-grant associated to this API.
We referred to the udemy session (https://www.udemy.com/course/build-secure-apis-with-auth0-and-postman/learn/lecture/12716335#overview)
Any inputs on the overall approach and where we are going wrong.
Thanks

not sure if it can help, but found this more relevant to the problem statement.
https://community.auth0.com/t/how-to-generate-a-management-api-token-automatically/6376
There are a few things you need to do/check:
Create a non-interactive client in Auth0, which will be used to represent your service.
Authorize the non-interactive client to call the Auth0 Management API:
Dashboard > APIs > Auth0 Management API > Non Interactive Clients > Authorize your client
Ensure that the parameters used in the call to /oauth/token are for your non interactive client:
{
grant_type: 'client_credentials',
client_id: 'NON-INTERACTIVE-CLIENT-ID',
client_secret: 'NON-INTERACTIVE-CLIENT-SECRET',
audience: 'https://yourdomain.auth0.com/api/v2/" }
Make sure the access token you receive is passed in the Authorization header for every request made to the Management API. Authorization: Bearer <access_token>

Using the old authorization server, the user request an opaque token using the Client credentials grant and then use it inside an Authorization Header when calling APIs. On our resource server, we would contact the authorization server to authenticate this token and retrieve client information.
On the new server, we have no problem generating this opaque token but I don't understand how we can authenticate this token ?
When calling the introspection endpoint, we have always an Unauthorized result due to using AnonymousAuthenticationToken: obviously since the user is already logged in, we don't ask him to give his client_id and client_secret for each call.
Is it possible to allow this behavior ?
Calling the introspection endpoint and having a success with the decrypted token metadata and not a 401.
I have a simple REST API which is a GET service and doesn't require any user login to consume, but I want to protect it using Bearer Token, when I research on this in internet it's been showed that I need to implement bearer token only after user logs in and authenticated. Is there a way in springboot where I can generate a token for my API and give it to client and client calls my API with that and the program validates the same and provides response?
You have the OAuth2TokenGenerator available in Spring Authorization Server.
I have a Spring Boot Rest Api with JWT integration. Currently from Postman, I make a POST request to authenticate endpoint, including username and password, and obtain an access token.
But can Azure AD be used along with JWT, instead of hardcoded user details ?
When you obtain token with username and password, that bases on Resource Owner Password Credentials flow. This flow requires a very high degree of trust in the application, and carries risks which are not present in other flows.
I'm not sure what you mean about Azure AD with JWT.
If you would like to obtain access token with a signed-in user(not hardcoded user details), auth code flow is better for you. You could also request an access token in Postman.
POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/token
client_id=xxx
&scope=https://graph.microsoft.com/mail.read
&code=<authorization_code from "/authorize" endpoint>
&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fmyapp%2F
&grant_type=authorization_code
If you would like to obtain access token without users, you could use client credentials flow. In the client credentials flow, permissions are granted directly to the application itself by an administrator, so you must use application permissions.
POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/token
client_id=xxx
&scope=https://graph.microsoft.com/.default
&client_secret=xxxx
&grant_type=client_credentials
I understand that a resource server will make a call to the authentication server with a token to confirm that it is valid.
However is this token the same Cookie: JSESSIONID?
Oauth 2.0 Bearer tokens are of two types - General tokens(e.g like java uuid string) and JWT tokens.
General tokens will be stored in the authorization server token store along with their scopes, expiry, client ID, UserId and other related information. When client sends request to resource server, Resource server need to reach out authorization server(Spring oauth 2.0) for bearer token validation.
JWT tokens contains information about its expiry along other user information and self sufficient to work in stateless sessions, Here we don't need to validate oauth 2.0 JWT tokens from authorization server.
JSESSIONID Cookie is created by spring security by default, its not related to Bearer token authorization.
Well the standard solution is an introspection request, as in step 14 of this post: https://authguidance.com/2017/09/26/basicspa-oauthworkflow/
Not all solutions are standards based though - and I always recommend capturing the HTTP traffic
Does anyone know how to get the app access token to a One-Drive API app?
I've tried combining {appId}|{appSecret} as the access_token param and as the Authorization header but it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks,
The OneDrive API docs have a good section on getting auth tokens with OAuth. In a nutshell, there are two services involved -- the OneDrive API service and the authentication service. The OneDrive API only accepts OAuth tokens that were issued by the authentication service. The authentication service is what you talk to first to get an auth token.
Depending on your app, you can either use the token flow or the code flow to get an auth token. In the 'token' flow, you navigate the user's browser to the authentication endpoint with your appId. The user may need to log in, consent, etc., and then the authentication endpoint redirects back to your site with an auth token you can use. The 'code' flow is similar to the 'token' flow, except it redirects back with an authentication code that your client app can use (along with its client secret) to obtain an auth token and a refresh token. Once you have a refresh token, you can use that to obtain future auth tokens without the user's involvement (as long as they granted the wl.offline_access scope).
